DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the profound compassion of Jesus, who came to
earth not for business but solely to save humanity. Unlike the Samaritan
who helped out of circumstance, Jesus willingly entered our suffering,
experiencing the full weight of our sins and wounds. He was not just a
bystander but actively engaged in our plight, ultimately sacrificing
Himself to deliver us from the robbers of sin. Spurgeon highlights that
through Christ's suffering and death, we find the ultimate expression of
pity and redemption. This act of love showcases the depth of Jesus'
sympathy and commitment to our salvation.

The Samaritan came to the wounded one because in the course of business
he was led there, and, being there, he helped the man; but Jesus came to
earth on no business but that of saving us, and he was found in our
flesh that he might have sympathy with us. In the very existence of the
man Christ Jesus you see the noblest form of pity manifested. And being
here, where we had fallen among robbers, he did not merely run risks of
being attacked by thieves himself, but he was attacked by them; he was
wounded, he was stripped, and not half dead was he, but altogether dead,
for he was laid in the grave.

He was slain for our sakes, for it was not possible for him to deliver
us from the mischief which the thieves of sin had wrought upon us
excepting by suffering that mischief in his own person; and he did
suffer it that he might deliver us.

From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "The Good Samaritan,"
delivered June 17, 1877.
